The File Manager in cPanel allows you to manage your website files directly through your browser without needing separate software like FTP.
Step-by-Step Guide:
-
Log in to your cPanel.
-
In the "Files" section, click on "File Manager."
-
A new window will open. Navigate to the folder you want to upload to. For your main website, this is usually
public_html. -
Click the "Upload" button in the top toolbar.
-
A new panel will appear. Click "Select File" or drag and drop your files from your computer into the box.
-
Wait for the upload to complete (you will see a green checkmark).
-
You can close the upload window and return to File Manager to see your file listed. You can now right-click it to rename, move, or change permissions.
Tip: To upload multiple files at once, compress them into a ZIP folder on your computer, upload the ZIP, then right-click it in File Manager and select "Extract."
